Started out as a decent little hip taco & tequila place. They continue to make some great margaritas, and the Mezcal Old Fashioned I had was solid.
But they let me down recently. You don’t do what’s pictured, under any circumstance. You can’t take a room temperature corn packaged (not fresh) tortilla and put the tacos insides inside into it. Within seconds of doing so the tortilla will fall apart in a disgusting mess of packaged corn mush.
This is basic - BASIC - Mexican cuisine technique. Fix your kitchen and train your cooks.

Had a brisket torta, and a margarita called “The Archer”, both excellent. Nice collection of tequilas here, must come back…
Friendly prompt service. Really good menu selection of various items in the Mexican food realm. Strongly suggest.
Delicious food/drinks and excellent service! The portions are perfect. We got the salsa trio to share and each ordered the three tacos special with beans and rice. We left full and satisfied.
The food is delicious🤤You have to try the Salsa Trio if it's your first time. The tacos are all bomb! The Overnight Brisket and AL Pastor are my fav though. Drinks are on point as well. Hands down I would suggest going here.
Hook and Lime is decent. My wife and I both feel that we would go back for the beer battered cod tacos but out of all the tacos / dishes we tried that was the only one we actually enjoyed. The lobster tacos were not good. The ceviche was not good. The other tacos (shrimp, seared tuna) were not good. The salsa trio was good.
The waiter was nice, atmosphere ok, just really loud when it gets busy so it's hard to converse at dinner. Overall we would go back but they aren't doing anything spectacular. 3 stars.

The food was generally very good, though I didn't find a 5 star item for myself here yet, but I just sampled a small bit of their menu.
They got the 5 stars though because their service was great.
My friend has an allergy. It's kind of a big one for Mexican restaurants. Can't have chillies. The owner actually came out to talk to us and tried to find a solution (there wasn't one) but even suggested he help us get an order in to the restaurant across the street for my friend. I thought that was exceptionally kind.
It's a very comfortable place and I'm looking forward to finding my 5 star food item.
We ordered the rajas con queso. It's a stringy cheese they told us, but there was no cheese pull. We didn't wait that long to eat but it wasn't served hot enough that it was able to come apart and was more like a brick of cheese. Flavor was great. Preferred it with the crispy tortillas and ate the other ones by themselves as they were flavorful on their own.
Also got an order of the enchiladas. Solid 4 star. It reaches closer to 5 if you add the magical dust they have on the table. I'm not sure what the spices are but they were pretty delicious.
We did metered street parking, but I suspect they might have a free parking lot behind the building. I didn't investigate further and forgot to ask since we had already paid for parking.

Phenomenal service, great food, and yummy margs! We were served by Hannah T, who was very knowledgeable about the menu items. There wasn't a single question she couldn't answer and her recommendations were spot on. I had the Birria Taco platter and I don't know what kind of jack cheese that was but it was soooo good. It had an amazing aged flavor and complemented the shredded beef well. My daughter had the beef brisket, braised chicken, and carnitas tacos, and said they were outstanding. We both had the Pineapple Mezcalita margarita, which also complemented the beef very well. Loved the fact that we could pay at the table. Overall a great experience and we will be back!
Update: seriously the best chips guacamole I have ever had. The rice and black beans are amazing too!
